UNDERMOUNT PORCELAIN SINK

Installation Instructions

FOR WARRANTY ISSUES OR QUESTIONS, CONTACT CAHABA AT (866) 837-2550.

PREPARE THE COUNTERTOP

1. Position the template (provided with your sink) front to rear so the sink

will not interfere with the cabinet; secure with tape.

2. Trace the template and remove. Dry t the sink to verify the

measurements.

3. Following the countertop manufacturer’s instructions, carefully cut the

countertop on the inside of the traced line.

4. Locate and drill the mounting holes, following the countertop

manufacturer’s instructions. Holes should allow even spacing of

mounting brackets around the sink.

5. Loosely fasten the mounting brackets to the underside of the cabinet.

X IMPORTANT: The cabinet must be installed, secured, plumb, and level

BEFORE installing the sink.

X IMPORTANT: Cahaba undermount sinks should only be fastened to a

solid surface countertop (i.e. granite, Corian

or Silestone

INSTALL THE COUNTERTOP

1. Clean the bottom of the countertop and the top ange (or lip) of the sink

with denatured alcohol.

2. Generously apply 100% silicone adhesive sealant evenly all around the

top of the sink rim.

3. Position and align the sink under the countertop opening. Tighten

fasteners until mounting brackets are snug against sink. Check

alignment of sink to the countertop opening.

4. Tighten down fasteners evenly. Be careful not to over-tighten.

5. Immediately remove excess sealant.

X IMPORTANT: The enclosed cutout template will create a countertop

opening with a minimal (1/8” or less) reveal. It is recommended that you

discuss this with your installer and agree that this nished appearance

is the desired effect. Cahaba is not responsible for improper sink or

countertop installations.

X IMPORTANT: Cahaba is not responsible for sink or countertop if damaged

during installation. Be sure to inspect the sink for damage prior to

beginning installation.

APPLY SILICONE SEALANT AFTER CLEANING THE

SINK EDGE AND COUNTERTOP
